Halloween is coming ! The towns in the U.S. are filled with Halloween atmosphere ,along with Halloween decoration and advertisement .

What 's Halloween : On the last day of Oct. ( Say, 10/31 ) , American will celebrate Halloween ,originated from Ireland, as the end of summer . Particularly , it is said that the suffering souls and ghosts , on that day, will come to human being's world looking for a fall guy .As a result , people have to dress in the freaking and exotic way . In that way , those ghost would be confused by the dress , barely distinguishing human being from ghosts . We , Taiwanese , have a very similar festival ,called Jhong Yuan Festival . However , different from American way , we pray with respect along with burning incense stick and paper money , instead of celebration . For such festival , Salem , the so-called witch city, naturally becomes the spotlight across the New England area of the U.S. . Surely , I would n't let it go easily ! Salem ! I 'm coming . 在我家附近的Wethersfield,應該是我們這附近較具萬聖節氣氛的小鎮Wethersfield,CT , might be the town with more Halloween air in Hartford 's area

The decoration in front door is another way to show your creativity as well .

You can do it in scary type.

有看起來像是房仲的...Or... can make it look like a real estate agent .

有趁機做廣告的...

or.... it would be a good way to advertise your own product .

有不知所云的怪博士..... Freaking Doctor .

也有可愛風...Cute style .

也有人弄得很“”搞鋼“”的.Or ... you also can make much efforts to do ......

當然也有一些人是去搞破壞的...... But , some guys are going to ruin your efforts....

時間來到了 Oct. 27, 剛好正智和珮嘉的蜜月之旅也來到波士頓，於是就去當個電燈泡！

（圖為波士頓的某個石階，日期正好就是我去的時間）

（10/27也是今年萬聖節前的週末..... ）

Oct. 27 , the weekend before Halloween this year . I went to Boston as a third wheel ,interrupting Andy and Peija's honeymoon ......

State House

來到波士頓，自然得走走Freedom Trail，但Freedom Trail的圖，我想大家也看多了！這張照片只是要讓大家知道Freedom Trail真的是很多Free..... 圖為Freedom Trail 一角When coming to Boston , Freedom Trail is a must-see place. But , from this pic ,I just want you know how free the freedom trail is .

無可避免地，一方面是萬聖節，得來走走墓地，一方面，來看看這位我相識已久的老朋友---Franklin，到現在我皮夾裡面都常還放著他照片咧！Inevitably , partly because of Halloween ,supposed to visit a cemetery , partly because I should come to visit a old friend who I know him very well and for long time . Even now , his pic are often put in my wallet . Franklin !

插播一下，美國總統選舉快到了！ 如何搶救經濟讓美國人民回到工作崗位上，是本次選戰主軸！By the way , the U.S. election is coming , How to get American back to job market is the main issue of this campaign .

Salem，本來是隔天白天才要來造訪，陰錯陽差地讓我今晚就來，參與到了萬聖節前的週末聚會！！ 果真熱鬧非凡！ 讓我們看下去 ！

Salem , which I would have planned to come next day , but due to some reasons , we came tonight and luckily be a part of Halloween gathering .

三個女巫..... Witches .

一開始覺得這兩位很新奇，可後來發覺，這實在是太平常了！

At the beginning , I thought they were extraordinary . However, if you go on, you would know it is too common .

來摸摸獅子王的屁股！ Let's “ fondle" Lion king's butt cheek .

我發覺，其實傻傻地站著拍照，是一點都不嗨的！一定要想些和裝扮相稱招式才對！I found the fact that it is not high enough if you just stand still for taking picture. I am supposed to make some corresponding poses !

所以，遇到這一組，先來個驚恐狀！

So , Look scared !!

打鳥嘴！Hitting your fucking beak !

招子太亮，戳你雙眼！What a shining eyes !!

遇到海上喋血，就要這樣和船長們幹起來！ you should fight like I did when meeting pirates at sea !

天鵝湖！ 應該可以從照片中看出來，我被黑天鵝抱得有點不爽，我愛的是白天鵝阿！Swan ! Easily judging from pic , I like the white one more !

所以，我決定不再掩藏自己洶湧的愛意！So , I decided not to refrain myself !

這叫神龍擺尾！What a tail !

公.....主.... ！？ 好啦！胖了點的公主！Princess !? Ｏ～Ｋ～ just a bit fatter !

遇到鬼怪，不動是最好的策略！ （其實，我是看他有點悶，沒人找他拍照，我才去找他的.... 在這種場合，如果你精心裝扮了，但沒人鳥你，實在是很悶.....）Stay put is the best strategy when encountering the ghosts . ( In fact , I went for him only because no one took picture with him . At that occasion , you would feel very frustrated if none wants to take pic with your effort-spending costume .)

身為幼稚園園長的我，有一天也是會遇到小孩的反撲的！Although I have been welcomed by kids all the time , I still encountered their attack .

這大個仔，裝成翹屁股老媽！ 我也學他翹！ 我這動作一作，他朋友也覺得很有趣，也要拍我！ 哈！This giant guy dressed as a plump butt mom . I imitated her pose . Even her friends thought I am very interesting . Ask me for a pic .

小忍者！！ 太可愛了！ 我跟他們說： 我會中國功夫，來一起拍照吧！不用懷疑，我就是只會這招白鶴亮翅，在非洲也是用這招和她們玩最早可回溯至去北京時，和徐青姐一起合作的“虎鶴雙形”Little ninja ! I told them , I can perform Chinese Kung fu ! let's take a pic !that's the only movement I can ! I even used this movement to show the blacks when I visited Kenya last year !

這第二招一擺，右邊的小忍者，就有點不知所措了！ （其實，你從頭到尾都在狀況外！）更好笑的是，他爸爸居然問我說，你是不是真的會中國功夫，看你的動作很棒，是個練家子的樣子！我回他，你真是好眼力，我學過一點點啦！（我身懷絕世武功，難道要我到處跟人講嗎？我和衛斯理都是受過嚴格的中國武術訓練的阿！ ）The ninja at right-hand side seems to be at loss all the time ! The more interesting thing is his father asked me , can you perform real kung fu ? your movement is good ! look like a performer !I replied , what a observation ! I did learn for a little bit ....

她也有隻和康永哥一樣的鳥！

瑪力兄弟！ Mario !

謎底揭曉！ 第一張照片就是.............. 這頂帽子被我選為今日第一名！這才是真正的“巴拉姑跨” （Boro Krubwa)！！The answer to the very first one picture ----- Dick hat !! I will award it as first tonight !!

P.S. 因應萬聖節的到來，我也送給我的同事們“好神公仔”保身！每個人都依照他們的個性和需求給不一樣的神明！ 我覺得這是送外國人很不錯的禮物！P.S. Due to the coming of Halloween , I gave my colleague " God doll key chain " to protect them . Each one is given by each colleague 's image , personality ,or need . A thoughtful gift !
